blazer dies while driving periodically

I have a 1997 s10 blazer that i have had for 3 years. about 6 months ago it started dieing for no reason i would be coming to a stop and it would just die like i shut off the key or something. i would start it back up and it would go again. this happens probably 2 to 3 times a day if i am driving around alot. also i can be driving down the street and it will die if i tap the gas real quick it will recover. i have no idea why it does this but is quite scary because i lose power steering when it dies. does anyone know why it might be dying?

Hi,
Chevy blazer are prone to this problem. The blazer has a fuel pressure valve. Thses are very sensitive and have to be set accuratley, if not they will not send the pressure needed. believe it or not even a pound off in pressure will prevent the vehicle from running right or not running at all. If that is all right, then check the sending unit.
